Chickamauga National Park, Oo.,April 29.—Chickamauga park is now onevast recruiting: camp. The war depart-ment orders to nil every regiment incamp up to its maximum strength re-ceived by deneral Brooke will as far aspossible be carried Into effect at once.Judging from, the number of applica-tions already received, It la believedthat the: different regiments at thispoint will soon be placed on a war foot-Ing. Especially Is this true'of the col-ored regiments. The presence of theseable warrior*:has created the greaiertexcitement among the colored people ot

MAJOR GENERAL BROORB.(Commanding forces at Chickamauga.]

Chattanooga and the surrounding coun-try/and every day the commanding of-ficers have been besieged by men ahxtous to enlist. 'When the regiments a nfilled out, nearly 25,000 troops will' becamped at Chickamauga; i '

Two companies of the Ninth (colored)cavalry, which arrived In Chattanoogalate last evening, were stopped afterhaving started to Chickamauga andswitched Into the Western and Atlanticyards. Orders are said to have beenreceived to have ths troops proceed asrapidly as possible to Tampa, Fla., towhich point froops from Mobile havealso been ordered. It Is currently re-ported that the companies of the Ninthregiment now In camp here will beshipped at once to. Tampa, as well asthe Twenty-fourth infantry, colored.Officers of the Ninth have bidden hur-ried goodbye to their wives and aremaking every preparation fordeparture.The movement of troops to Tampa isbel leved to embrace not only, the coloredtroops; but: all the artillery stationedhere us well.

The shipment of the Ninth cavalryfollowing; the sudden departure of twobatteries of artillery for Tampa, al-ready J reported 'in these dispatches, hasproduced a fever of excitement amongthe soldiers.

' More Troops Arrive.The Sixteenth regiment of Infantry

from Forts Sherman and Spokane,Wash., and Boise barracks, Ida., ar-rived last night over the Nashville,Chattanooga and St. Louis railway. Theregiment" Is in, command of 'ColonelPheaker, with Lieutenant Colonel Coats,Major McLaaghlln, Captains Noble,Palmer, -Allen, Morrison, McFarlandand Woodbury Lasalter. Companies Band F of the Ninth (colored) cavalryfrom Fort Ducheane, Utah, 13T men, incommand of Captain R. W. Wright, al-so arrived.

It Is reported that four companies ofthe Fourteenth regiment stationed atVancouver'barracks, Wash., are on theway here. Should this regiment encambat Chickamauga, there would be a re-

lslon of diviBlon and brigade com-manders,/as Colonel'Anderson of theFourth is, it Is understood, the rankingcolonel Of the army.

General -orders, have been Issued' form-ing the artillery into a brigade of twobattalions, to be commanded by Lieu-tenantColonel "W, F. Randolph of the.Thlrd'artniery; The: first battalion, con-sisting1 of ;Llght.batterloe A' and F of theSecond and Light batteries 0 and F ofthe Third, Is placed in command of Ma-jor J. M. Lancaster. Major J. W. Dll-lenlmck Is given command of the sec-)nd .battalion, made up of Light batter-ies B aha F of the Fourth and Lightbatteries D and F of tho Filth;

The developments of the past 24 hoursIndicate plainly that the United States?overnment'haa.declded to make:use ofhe Insurgent army, and that the firsticoupdtlon of Cuba will soon tako place,dcsultcithe anticipated, terrors of therainy'season there,

Mataozas Is Indicated at ths objactlr*

point of the transport ships which willjarry our troops from Port Tampa. Itis not much more than 60 miles fromHavana, the Cuban capital. It Is theport near which the starving reconcen-trados are camped. It is the port fortrhlch the relief ship State of Texas will•all from Key West. It Is the Cubancity whose works have received theSrst and only fire from Captain Samp-lon's fleet. The Insurgent army 1B nottar away. The batteries have been si-lenced and the town 1B the naturalandtng place for our array of invasion.

No word has been received here yet asto what arrangements have been made.'or transports, but, an a matter of fact,ittle news Is allowed to be made pub-ic through* Major General Brooke'slieodquarters. It IB or£y by the suddenind unexpected moving of troops, suchas Is outlined by yesterday's orders,that any definite conjecture as to theplans of the war department can bemade.

PACKING UP AT TAMPA.Orders Beoelved to Prepare tq Go to

Cnba 7or an Invasion*Tampa, Fla,, April 2]),—Surmise and

speculation have been superseded bycertainty that the regulars nowencamp-ed In this city will leave at once forCuba. Orders to this effect were re-ceived at the camp yesterday afternoon,and the men are actively engaged Ingetting things In readiness for a hastydeparture. The order first received wasconfined to the Fourth Infantry; and itwas the belief that It was Intended forIt to go along with the two light batterles of artillery now en route fromChickamauga to .Tampa. LaBt night,however, the order to pack up all nec-essary baggage and ship it back to theregimental headquarters and to pre-pare for Immediate departure was re-selved, and as a result the greatest ex-citement prevails, and It Is the beliefthat the entire force here will be sentto Matanzas, Cuba. Within four hoursafter the last order was received thesteamship - Florida of the Plant line,which has been lying at this) port, gotup steam, and the Olivette is now do-Ins; likewise. The Fifth Infantry, whichIs represented here, by tour companiesand which Is detached from the brigadesto guard the supplies, will remain be-hind to perform that duty. The Floridaand Olivette can transport three regi-ments, and. lother transports or- con-voys are expected to arrive within thenext 12 hours.

Many of the correspondents now herowill accompany the troops to Cuba, andthe developments of the last few hourshave hastened their plans. If any coun-termanding order should arrive or anychange be made In the present pro-gramme, there will be. a camp of dis-appointed soldiers; aa all have preparedthemselves for! the Invasion, and noth-ing' short of it will;satisfy inera.

One certainty Is that they will notreturn from Cuba before they have wonthe right That MaUnias Is the desti-nation of the troops there can scarcelybs a doubt, as the last order came di-rectly after the news of the bombard-ment and reduction of that place.

TO JOIN GARCIA.Bis; BUssdHI— of Caast Oox to light

With taw Xasugoata.Key West. April *».—A big expedition

of. Independent Cubans will leave: hereat once for the eastern part of Cuba.The expedition Is composed of men whofor some weeks have been anxious toreach Garela's army, with the hopethat they will be In at the wlndup of theeastern cities. A portion of them wereIn an expedition which was to go beforewar was declared. They refrained fromgoing only because of the strict watchkept on them, ,

Since war has been declared theyhave thoroughly ' organised, equippedand drilled for service in the field. Manyof them have heretofore refrained from,going to Cuba 'because they were ofmore service In this country aiding theCuban party by contributions, Theywill take with them a quantity of armsand ammunition and land where theycan connect at once with General Gar-cia or General Menocal. Ths expeditionis not a filibustering expedition. TheCubans.In it desired'to enlist In theUnited States army, but decided it wasbetter to go: In first. They will be fol.lowed by other parties, who are pre-paring to go, and will In reality be thevanguard of the Cubans returning tolight under Gomes, Garcia and others.

In a few days the Nunei expedition,which will be sanctioned by the" UnitedStates and. convoyed by gunboats, willleave from some point on the coast.Many of those now going believe thatthe proper thing' to do Is to get acrossthe gulf before Spain's fleet reaches thisside and: thus guard against possibleaccidents.' ,

TALKING IN CONGRESS.To* House Contlnnas the Dlseasslon at

the War Barsnue Bill.Washington, April 21.—The general

debate ion; the.war revenue bill doBedist night after 8M hours of speechmak.

Ing-. The debate yesterday lacked bothspirit and interest : There was littlediscussion of the internal revenue; fea-tures\of the bill./ The Democrats con-tinued their ossaultson the bond tea'ture and their advocacy of the Incometax. The latter was ridiculed as a sub-stitute proposition by the. Republicans,.The authority to .borrow money .was de-fended by them as absolutely necessary.There is a difference 6( opinion on theDemocratic side as to whether the billshould be voted for upon Its:final pas-sage after the minority amendmentsare voted down.. A number of the Dem-ocrats, led by Mr. McClellan of NewYork,: have announced their purpose otso voting, but the majority of the Dem-ocrats believe they could not Justify avote fora bond Issue.

An elfort is -being. made' to avoid • anaye and nay vote, on'tho final passageto prevent an exhibition of the division,and last night It seemed probable thatIt would be successful. There may besome': difficulty ' about-' tho committeeamendments decided upon yesterday! asunder.the order, the bond';features ofthe,bill must, first be.taken up underthe f.vo minute rule today. If theamendments to these sections shouldexhaust the time before 4 o'clock, thecommittee amendments would be ruledout and would have to be Inserted bythe senate. The most, notable speechesyesterday were • delivered by Messrs.Payne (Rep.): of New York, Dalzell(Rep,) of Pennsylvania, McClellan(Dem.) of New York, MoMlllln (Dem.)of Tennessee, Henderson (Rep.) .of Con-necticut and Rhea (Dem.) of Kentucky.

The senate was In the attltudo ofwaiting for buiincM to m c h It A few

bills of unimportant character werepassed, but no business of general In-terest was transacted.

The conferees of the two housesreached an agreement on the naval ap-propriation bill before adjourning lastnight All the senate increases In theway of monitors and torpedo boats wereadopted. These Increases include fourmonitors at 11,250,000 and 16 Instead of12 torpedo boat destroyers. All the oth-er important additions made by thesenate are retained. The language Inregard to the enllBtment of Beamen waschanged so as to provide for 1,000 moremarines.

A provision was Inserted giving thesecretary of the navy authority to en-list volunteers up to the rank of com-mander. This was done so that the de-partment could avail itself of the serv-ices o'f the officers of tho American lln«erB chartered by tho government

General Boynton's Views.Washington, April 29.—General H. V.

Boynton has arrived here from Chick-amauga and has had a number of .In-formal conferences with the officials otthe war department with the purposeof making things more comfortable inthe soldier bayB' camp on the great bat-tlefield. While the quartermaster's pf-flcess on duty in the park are doing; allthat men can do to take care of thearmy thrown suddenly on their hands,they are obstructed by certain existinglaws and regulations, and one of Gen-eral Boynton's objects is • to smooththese out Seoretary. Alger came In-stantly to the relief of the soldiers, andhe authorized the park commission toproceed without • delay to secure suchsupplies as wood, buckets, etc., as thaquartermasters were not able to pro-cure at short notice.

General Boynton says that there are10,000 troops In the park and that it isthe finest body of soldiers he has everseen together. There are six cavalryregiments there, stretching along fourmiles of the road, besides ten batteriesand two brigades. The men, ore nowvery comfortable In the camps.

2 THE IRON ERA, DOVER, N. J., APRIL 29, 1898.LIFE IN THIS I'UILIl'l'IKES.

Exorbitant Taxes Keep the Vcopi© i:Dire Poverty.

The Philippines Ho wholly within the tro]fes, reaching at the south to within Tour ama balf degrees,of the equator, writes Prfemor D. C. Worcester in the IndependenBig and little, they number some e\x hundredvarying in size from Luzon, with its 40,001square miles, to tiny islets hardly worthy o:tbo same.

Extreme poverty ifl tlio rule among thicivilized natives, and tie cause is found in tinheavy burden of taxation imposed upon tbe:by their SpanlBh musters. Every person ovei16 yean of age Is required to procure annual']y a credula personal, or document of identlflcation, the cbarge for which varies froir$1.60 to $25, according to the means of tinapplicant. Should these sums seem in&igolficant it must be remembered that the averagenative has little or no opportunity to woifor hire; that If be does succeed in securluemployment his wages are often not morthan live cents per day, and that he is usual!,unable to dispose of uls farm products foicash, being compelled to exchange them foiother commodities. In addition to this per-sonal tax there is a tax on cocoanut trees,tax on beasts of burden, a tax on killing animals for food, a tax for keeping a chop, a taxon milli or oil presses, a tax ou weights andmeasures, a tax on cock fighting, and so onto the end of tha chapter. At every turn thpoor native finds himself face to'face withthe dire necessity of paving tribute ; and hefrequently spends bis life In an ineffectualeHort to meet the obligations thus imposed.

Delinquent taxpayers aro treated with thutmost severity. The first step is usually tostrip them to tbo waist, tio them to a benchor poet, end beat them unmercifully. I navo•eon womon subjected to this treatment, Ithii does not sufflco, imprisonment follows,while pressure is brought to bear on relativesand friends.. Daughters aro not infrequentlyoffered an opportunity to secure the liber-ation of a parent at the expense of their ownhonor. Bbould none of these methods proveeffective, deportation follows, with confisca-tion of property and tbo leaving of womenand children to shift for themselves.

I once saw forty-four mou deported fromSlqutjor, because they owed taxes varying inamounts from two to forty dollars. I wnaInformed that they would bo allowed to re.turn to tuoirfamilies, if theycould find themafter-working out tbe auiouut of UioEr sev-eral debts. The wages allowed them wereto be file coats per day. Board vtw to befurnished them at a cost of live cents per day,and they were to clotba uiul shelter them•elves 1 In other words their sentenceamounted to deportation of life.

Naturally the Philippine native Is a poaco-ablo, easy-going fellow. Undor u decentform of government he would give littletrouble. No one familiar with existing con-ditions can doubt that Spanish, rule has beena curse to these Inlands, uud it would be ahappy day for them should Home civilize*]power take poBM&sion of them. Their largestcities are well nigh defenseless, and could bereadily captured unless dofeuiled by a power-ful naval force.

men on the publio highways and. planingthem on an equal plane with Van drivers otother, vehicles. This accomplished, the' offl

of tliu league next turned their attentionto the movement for> hfittert roadft, and [forleven years have .persistently waged a war-

fare lu this direction, aud latterly with goodffect. ' More > than ten. thousand miles; of

roads have been improved through the efforts'of the L. A. W. in the TJuited States, and .thebeBt road la*8 upon our statute books are theresults of league work. Over ten'VnUUons ofpamphletB and magazines have beoo pilotedand circulated by tbe League of AmericanWheelmen to further the mo rement for goodroads, and within tbo last decade, tho leaguehas collected and expended over $130,000 forthlGHpurpose.: Through the efforts of theleague eleven States have passed laws com-pelling their, railroads to carry wheels free asbaggage, making in all 100,000 miles of rail-roads over which bicycles are carried with*out charge. Numerous,other thingB of bene-fit to wheelmen have been accomplished andthe organization is enlisting new recruits,every day, thereby showing the bicyclerider's1 appreciation of what baa been done

** Little Lord Fatintleroy."W/heQ Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett first

offered her play, "Little Lord Pauntleroy,"to New York, managers it was refuted becauwIt was thought that no child could leara, muchless play such a long difficult part—it is saidto be oa long as Hamlet. However, the at-empt was finally made, a child (Ulsie Leslie)

assuming tho part, and with marvellous suc-. Since then a number of bright children

from Beven years tup have appeared as the"Little Lord" and mastered the part withperfect ease. The'production of "Little Lord

tauntleroy" was a revelation of the wonder-ul possibilities of 'memory and -the extraor-i

dluary dramatic power of children, "Faunt-lorpy"i has bepomo a closslo in dramatic liter-

ture, and. will hold the stage for all time;Tiie revival of. > this charming story at theGrand Opera House, week of May 3, will in*troduoa two now "Fauntloroy" etars—Kdwinand Ellis Smedley, ? and fi years old respec-tively. . They play, the part alternately andthey look and uct so near alike that it Is diffi-ult to tell them apart, lhelr performanoe

>r the "Little Lord" is wonderful and has notoebn surpassed by any of the cleverestFauntlaroya" that have - played the part.

' STKAMEB ALLEB, TUESDAY, March 29.A quiet morning. A few of us studyin]

over Scripture illustrations of tbe placevisited. In the early afternoon we came iieight of Genoa, whose harbor is one of thifinest in the world. It is protected by aiadmirable system of moles. The city risefrom the water on H sueeea3ion of irregularbills crowned with buildings and fortifications. The streets are generally narrow buithey were clean. We landed about half pas-three and drove for three hours. Ovelooking £he town from the highest pointwere told just whereto locate the differentpublic buildings, the palaces and the churches.The view was fine in every direction. ThtCathedral is a medley of architectural styles.It has some flue sculptures and frescoes, iwell as paintings. We went also to SanlMaria, a reduced copy of Stf Peter'B at RonnPassing through tliB narrow Btreets we coualmost touch the shop windows, but we bailittle time to linger. Our pilgrimage hibeen one'of sight seeing, rather than relitgathering. We all desired to Bee the Camp<Santa, but it was too late. We are detaineeat Genoa over night, as our second officer mwith an aoeideut yesterday by slipping on thideck and his aucle IB BO Injured he needs Urest, and bis place must be filled because ou:first officer broke bis leg at Port Said hi thistormy weather when our party was at Jaffi

A number of our people bade us good byias they journey across Europe. Wo becanimuch interested iu each other, eharinga common home and pursuing common interests,

This evening being so quiet we have takethe opportunity of overlooking our luingBpreparatory to packing one trunk on tho morrow. Four home letters inado us very gkuand thankful. I must not forgot to luonttoithe monument to ColumbuB, erected In 180!on the north west of Genoa, At his f<kneels the figure of America. Surroundinallegorical figures represent science, religion,Btrougtb aud wisdom, ltetweeu these arehas reliefs representing cconos from the 11of tho Discoverer. It is of white marble anthe dcftlgn is well executed. Genoa 1B celebrated for its palaces.

As wo passed ont the waves daslhigher and come over the bow of tbe boatmaking tho stoorago passengers seek shcltorAfter luncheon tbo watern wero quieter. IVihad a pleasant talk with Mr. McKeo, oBrooklyn, who is a leading Sunday schoolman as wellaflaworkorInothr-rdepartments.We wore able to walk with comfort beforeand after dinner. Ono dock had been washedwith the spray but tbo other is protectedTho wind being on tho opposite side of thiship has not closed our port holes. Every oneis thinking aud talklug of homo. Ono younglady comes from Algiers with a uurse, thepbysfcianB having dccldod that oven thaiclimate cannot arrest the progress of diseaseWe have been in view of tbe Bhores of Italjand France. We have passed the islandCorsica, where Napoleon was banished. W<are making very good speed. Dr. Stoddardsuggested a song service at 8:30 p m. andwas a welcome thought to the large circle tbalgathered in tbe dining room and was a mostappropriate way of expressing our thanks forthe mercies of another day. •

THUBSDAY, March Si.A very pleasant day on the Mediterranean

A walk on the deck was in order as soonthey were dried from last night's showers.Room No. 8 packed one trunk for bomwhich relieved the closet and hooks of superflous articles. In the afternoon we passed thiBalearic Islands and came in sight of thicoast of Spain. Walking and chatting wit!one and another wo make very pleasantacquaintances. One with a man who bolievimuch with lngersol, but was Blngularljdrawn to us 'by the sermon Dr. Stoddardpreached two weokB ago and which spems toawaken new trains of thought in his mind.I hope he may come to the song service thisevening and take now steps toward ourFather.

FRIDAY, April 1.This beautiful morning we are passing tbi

snow clad hills of Grenada, ou route for thipillars ot Hercules, west of which the ancientssupposed there exluted nothing but darknessand ohaoa. We planto stop again at Gibral-tar. Toil remember tbe rock derives Its pres-ent name from its Moorish Conqueror, Tarlck.The strait of Gibraltar from east to westabout 8fl miles long. Its narrowed point is atTarifa on tbo Spanish coast where the Afri-can coast is only nine miles distant. AtTarlta the Barbary pirates long held atmaintained a castle from which a toll wiexacted from every vessel that passed by,hence the modern name of tariff applied torates of duty levied on imports or exporta.From Europe point to Ccnta, Africa, is about16 miles; from Cape Trafalgar to CapeSpartel is about 25 miles.

' At Constantinople we wero first in Europe,then in Asia by crossing a narrow strip olwater. At Gibraltar we are in Europe look-ing over to Africa.

Bounding the promontory — noting thegreat lion ot the rock, enjoying tbe movingpanorama with its varied lights and shades,the bright green of a strip of water and theblue groon of the sea, we came to anchorabout S o'clock. Some of the party went onshore, but we had llglit showers and some ofus remained on deck to enjoy the rainboweffects and avoid the ruBh and push of tbeone steam launch Some of the traders cametoahow Ureir pretty things and tompt pmchasors. tVo took in coal-into the ship andinto our lungs. These immense Bhips burnimmense quantities of coal and we take it onat every port. About 10 o'clock we left thebeautiful rock with its illuminated town, acirclet of jowols around the towering cliffs.The song service closed that day.

SATDUDAY, April 2.A perfect morning on the Atlantic, boule-

vard bound. One of our party has a birth-day and we sent a note of congratulation tothe breakfast table with alittleEurnriae. Webecomo much like one family, BO associatedin our common wants and pinna and interestsStrolling on dock and resting, tho order of thelay—watching tho boaut'ful rainbows on thosaves made by the dashing cpray im a partif the time it rose as high as tho upper denlc.

In IMS Philip II, King of Spain, fitted outa great big expedition, known to history asthe Bpanlsh Armsda, for the avowed pur-poseof whipping England. For many monthsth* whole energy of the Spanish Nation hadbeen directed toward the construction andequipment of the requisite ships. In 1BM4everything was nearly rosdy but tbe sailingof the expedition was delayed for a year byDrake, tbe famous English navigator,'whomode a bold clash Into the harbor of Csdisand destroyed nearly one hundred of tbe shipswhich were laden with an imaieuse store ofprovisions. A further delay was caused bythe death of the Marquis Haute Cruz, whohad been intrusted with the chief command,ana who was an experienced sailor. TheArmada oonsisted of one-hundred and twenty-nine large vessels and carried 19,295 soldiersand 8,400 tailors, beside tlavesas rowers, and2,431 cannon. Their destination was thecoast of Flanders, where Alexander lamese!Prince of Forma, was lying with about 119,000men and a flotilla of baste.

This force was to be landed on tbe hue ofTbarjet, at the mouth of tbe Thames, undotbe protection of tbe Armada, which wouldb* able to keep the channel perfectly clear.Another body of troops was to be landed fur-ther north, and It had been hoped at one tunethat the Duke of Guls* would land a force onthe west coast.

; Th* fleet bad hardly sailed from Lisbonwhen It w u overtaken by a severe storm,which scattered several of the ships and com-pelled them to put Into 'Cortina for repairs.It wu the S3d of July before they anallysailed from Spain. England meanwhile hadnot been idle. When they got word tbat thefleet had really sailed, there was excited themost Intense enthusiasm among tbe people,who gladly furnished ships and stores andraised volunteer bands for coast defense. Thecommand of the army was given to LordLeicester, who took Us post at Tilbury with16,000 men to oppose the landing of FarmaTbe royal navy of England, which consistedol thirty ships, was at once put in order andIncreased by.;the.addition of merchantmenand privateers to about one hundreJ andeighty vessels.

The nextmorning Drake pursued them. He managedto kill 4,000 men of thorn; many Spanish shipsworo'disablcd and tho hopes of tho Spaniardswere broken.

ATTRACTIVE WOMEN.

Fullness of Health Makes Sweet Dispositions and Happy Homes.

[EXTRACTS FSOU UBS. PINKHAM'S KOTE BOOK.]

Woman's greatest gift Is the power to inspire admiration, respect and love.There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than

mere regnlarityof feature.To be a successful wife, to retain the lor*

and admiration of her husband, should be a>woman's constant study, Attbenrstindica*tion of ill health, painful menses, pains in thofiide,headacheorbackache,secure iJydiaK*I'inkham'o Vegetable Compound, and begin

ita use. Thla truly wonderfulremedy is the safeguard of wo*men's health.

Mrs. MABEL SMITH, 345 Cen-tral Ave., Jersey City Heights,N. J., writes:

"DEAJI HBS. PIKKHAM;—leanhardly find words with, whichto tbanlc you for what yourwonderful remedy has done forme. Without It I would, by thistime have been, dead or worse,insane; for when I started totakeLydla E. Pinkham's Vege-table Compound I was in a terri-

bleotate., I think it would be im-possible for me to tell all I suf-fered. Erery part of my bodyseemed to pain some tray. Thepain in my baok and head waa

terrible. I was nervous, had hys-terics and fainting Bpells. My case was one

that was given up by two of the best doctors inBrooklyn. I had given up myself; as I had tried so

manythings,Ibelievednothin(rwouldeverdomeany good. But, thanks to yourmedicine, lam now well and strong; in fact, another person entirely." - > .

If you are puzzled about yourself, write freely and fojly to Mrs. Pinkham, at]Lynn, Mass.; and secure the advice which she offers free of charge to all women.?hls is the advice that has brought Bunuhlue into many homes which nervous-ness and irritability had nearly wrecked.

[x small one-story frame structure* be-longing to the Atlantic Dynamite Company,whose plant, comprising some eighty brickand frame buildings, is situated et Kenvil,about flve mUes from this city, were blownup a few minutes before 0 o'clock yesterdayafternoon, can-ing the death of dx men andmore or less seriously Injuring four others.The six buildings, which were destroyed bythree distinct explosions, were used. as pack-Ing houses. A seventh packing house andthree houe'S in which were stored empty cat-ridge shells were destroyed by flre, which for

time endsngerad a number of brick maga-sines in which were stored many tonsof dyna-mite.

Tbe first explosion occurred at 8:67 o'clock,i* time being indicated by tb* stepping ofis office clock, which had been knocked out

of plumb by the concussion, a full quarter ofmile from the scene of the explosion. In

each packing house there were two men em-ployed. Three packing bonsai blew up In thefirst explosion, and the six men employed in

i were almost literally blown to atoms.They were: 'ABER8, KUAB, of Ksnvil, leaveeawlfeand' one child.

IATCOOK, WILLIAM, of Ksnvil, l eans •wife and six children;

ARICK, ALFRED, of Kenvil, leaves a wifeand four children.

flOY, CA8PER, of Kanvil, leaves a witeandflve children.

SCHEER, DATID, of Bocoaaunna, leaves •wife and •>* children. •

The concussion of this eiptaiaa outsail apacking boots la which John Thorp* andEllsworth Ik* war* working to collapse, aadboth Tborpe'aad Ike were badly eat hjr tb*Hying debris. Both started to run, but hadnot got only a short distance from the) build-ing when a second exploeioa occurred, blow-Ing up ssveral soon packing bouses, amongthem the on* they bad just left.

Thorpe, who waa stripped stark naked bythe aseond eiploasoo, ran to an embankmentovar which be Jumped, aad than started In adasedoonditloaforUieofllos, a quarter ot amil* away. Be presented a frlgbtful appear-ance, his bead, faos aad body being horriblyboned and blaokeoed, and be had besides acut into* neck within r half Inch of tba Jug-ular vain. He was at one* wrapped in bum-

and eared for in tba rear room et theoffice building, where Dm. H. C. UpchnrchsndN. H. Adattdldall in their power to n>bave hie soJferlaga. Ike also mad* his way

tba office in an almost nud* state, bisclothes bavins been stripped from him

the explosion and resultant Ira together.Like Thorps, be bad * out which almostssTsndhls jugular vein, aad bis head, faosand body was bally burned. -

A third explosion destroyed the remainingpacking bouses, but the men In UmehadUme

get farther away. On* of them, CharlesPratt, who bad barn working alone la thepacking boas* farthest away, had hi* right

badly cut In several placa*. Tbe doctorsI oompaUcd to take ssfwal stitches In bis

andbewasasnthon*.Tbe explosion* war* followed by fire which

on* time threatened to spread'to otherbuildings in which there wer* Ions of explos-ives, but tb* employes at great psrspaal rtokought tbe flre valiantly under tb* personal

direction of Superintendent Faanlman and atlast were successful in preventing Us further

Tbs packing bouses were located In thewood* about half a mile from the road lead-ing between Kanvil and Mt Arlington sta-Hoo. Thar wer* built of wood, about 111x15Test hi sits aad each hons* was built ina bank>f earth and tbsy were situated a number ot[eel apart. Two men were employed In eachbuilding. How the accident occurred 'Willnever b* known as tbe men who were at workin packing bouses No. 1 and 2, which

first to go had no time to get out. -Ellasibers and Casper Boy were In building So.and William Haycook end Alfred Rarick inuilding No 2. These two building! want up

together at three minute* to tan* o'clocktime being known to the minute, as the

ihock of the explosion stopped the clock iaoffice of the works.

There was no dynamite in building Ho. aand nobody waa working there at the time,but the building caught fir* and was burned

the ground.After the first explosion there was a slightterval and then, with a terrific report

louses No. 4 and S went up. David Scheermd William Stumpf were working la Uo. *i d John Thorpe and TSllsforlh Ike were Ino. 6. Nothing was ssen of either Scheer ortumpf, and sums conjecture that they were

badly stunned, or injured, by the flnt ex-losion that it was impossible for tbam to

ika an attempt at escape, but this, like theuse of tbe explosion, will forever be

shrouded in mystery. ,Thorpe and Ike were fortunate enough tot out of their building. Ike ran up overe bank at tbe rear of tbe building, but hadl. proceeded far before tht explosion oc-rrpl. His clothing caught fire but he bad

iressnee of mind enough to roll in tbe wetLV<s and managed to get some of his clothes

oil before bo was found by Grant strait and

others who took him to the company's officewhere he received medical attention at onceand was sent to his borne.

Thorpe, a> soon as be got out of the build-ing, ran straigbt ahead going toward the, off-Ice. ' Be had not proceeded msny feet—Infact had just reacted a small bank aboutforty or fifty feet from tbe building when thecrash came. Hs was In s direct line with thebuilding and tbe force of the explosion toreuearly every stitch of clothing from his bodyand b* was badly burned from head to footBut be kept his bs*d and ran on until became to a brook, in which he jumped in orderto extinguish tbe flre that was burning tbeshreds of clothing that were still sticking tohim.' H» then crawled out of tbe brook andwaa met by mm who were hurrying to givehim what asaiatano* thsy could. He waswrapped in blankets and assisted to tbs off-ice. On the way he Insisted that he could getalong all right alone and begged the <tnersto go bick and look for Ike, who, bssaid, badgotten out and might be more In n*cd of helpthan he was.

tOopyrlght, 1888, by Murat Balstead.]

There was a lively line of personalparagraphing going on in the Cincinnatinewspapers, and if the matter was re-ferred to me to say who was responsiblefor it in come of its phases that sensitivepersona thought provoking I might hes-itate about the application of the judg-ment. Thero are persons still perverseenough to say, I do uot doubt, thut mod-esty should forbid mo to talk of this,but I do not core to encourage an ex-haustive discussion. It is not worthwhile. There are impersonal elementsbearing on the matter. Cincinnati isvery close to Kentuoky. Sonth Cincin-nati—Covington and Newport dividedby the Lie-Mug—is in Kentucky. AsHenry Watterson onoe said in Cincin-nati, "There is a crook down hero wecall the Ohio, and a good fellow is thesame sort of a fellow on bath sides ofit." The old style in the town was tothrow abolition presses into the"creek," and the habit of assaultingeditors and reporters was continneddown to modern, times. The appearanceof irate individnals in newspaper officesdemanding redress and especially want-ing the offending writer pointed ont forpunishment was not uncommon untilseveral incidents had a tondency to di-vert virtuous anger into other channels.M. D. Potter was Bitting on an ironrailing in froqt of his office, twirling apenknife in his fingers and looking west-ward on Third street, when ho ntteredan exclamation of surprise and ran withhis knife in his hand, forgetting aboutthat implemunt, to a scene of middenagitation.

I had been approaching the office,walking rapidly, wlien two men, alarge one and a Bmall one, behind meand following at the same pace, beganto exchange observations of a very pe-culiar charaoter, and it was not thefirst time they had done that. Whatthey said was a very pointed and per-sonal reflection on myself. After strug-gling a few moments with a rush ofemotion I gave myself a shako and turn-ed, feeling that I was vastly more thanequal to the occasion, for when theblood rises hot to the head and neck itputs great conceits into one, and I turn-ed and asked tho big man gently,"Speaking to me?" And he said in sev*era! ways he was, bnt did not finish hisremarks or expect what he gat—a rightbander in the jaw. that caused him tosit down in the streot ten feet away.This was tho singnlaroironmstanoe thatosused Mr. Potter's sudden activity. Imade a rash for tho little man, who ranawkward with niB face toward me, try-Ing to get bin right band in his trouserspookot. Tho big ono was on his feet andcoming like a wild animal, and aa Iturned and rushed to meet him Mr. Pot-ter was thero and said tp the small par-ty, "Keep out of this, you Bomb," and•eeing Potter's penkuifo the suggestionthe amull' man received was observed.The weapon was all the more effeotivobecause Potter was not conscious thatbe bad it in bis bond. The force withwbloh my man cam/) up and at me waeimmense and tho blows he deliveredright and left were hummers. I parried• shower of them with my left arm,each one braising me to the bone, andthen be caught me a' etnuning tbwaokabove the left eye that made me Bpin onJny boot heels, so that for the tenth of• second I thought tho brick Bidewalk« H leaving mo. I had caved my right,while I put in the left to take the shocksthat were almost beyond my strengthto bear, and nowaa myablebodied competitor had delivered his messages andgaiped for wind I cave him my wholeweight in the left ear, and he tnmbledagain,. but I oonld not take advantageof his overthrow, for I desperately need'«d a mouthful of air and succeeded ingetting a fraction of a breath and in•toadying myself, summoning all thereserves, both arms aching and a sharppain in my back between the shoulders,when there was my man looking uglierthan ever, and I saw with high appre-ciation that I had "first blood."

It ia funny how important things in-trude themselves when yon are in atight plaoe. My man, luckily for me,did hot get .up aa quickly the second aahe did the first time, and aa soon as Ifelt of him I knew he bad lost steam.Potter, having the "scrnb" under con-trol, made , the; encouraging ^remark,"Get rid of him now.'' And I did,feinting with my loft aggressively, andaa my fellow citizen yielded a stepturning right shoulder forward andwith a quick, long stop swinging alltbat waa left of mo, catching him onthe snorter—I presume I may Bay, forhe gave a snort like a wild hog as hegot it—and he was down again, thebank of his head reaohing tho bowlders,his hat flying, and he turned, caughthlB hat, got on all fours and sprang tohis feet and-ran, the little follow afterhim as a sympathizer. I was quite asglad to'see him go as he was to getaway. "What is this about?" the prac-tical Potter inquirod. I answered, thowords with a three em dash betweenthem, for I needed all the timo I couldget for breath, "Don't——-know.""Who are tuoyf" was the next ques-tion* ."Don't- know." "Dou'tyou

know anything about them at all!""Hotting——at^-—-all." 'And Inever knew their names or their griev-ances or Baw or heard of them alter.

march through the German portion o.the city uud capture a braEs sis pounderbecauso Washington said, "Put uonebut Americans on guard tonight." Itwaa esteemed highly injurious to haveartillery in the posKefieinn of foreign borupeople, as they might at uuy momenttipsei our institutions, but tho Germansdid not understand why they shoulduot have, as many rights as other folks,and wben tho expedition crossed thoBbino (tho canal) there was a sharp dis-charge of firearms, and several men fellwounded. One, carried to the Commer-cial hospital, died, uud an inquest washeld iu tuu hospital, whoso managerbore the euphonious and fetching nameof Absalom Death. The coroner was akindly man, with a rugged policy of"malice toward none," but his olerkwas very pronouueed iu bis Americanviews arid asked the German witnessesmany unpleasant questions that dis-pleased me, UH I was there holding oneditorial inquisition oil the trial, and Iwrote an urtiolu about this feature ofthe proceedings that waB the reverse ofconciliatory, and then I painted themoon red with some remarks that wereobviously personal and not meant to besuscoptible of explanation. The infor-mation was conveyed to me—coming di-reot from tho pronounced olerk—that ifI appoarod again at the inquest IwaB tobe assaulted right there, and I bad somuch curiosity about it that I bnrriedoff to Bee what woald happen when 1got there, and, sure enough, the olerkdid not disappoint me, but presentedhimself with alacrity and proceeded todo aa ho Baid he would. He bad notbeen iu training, however, for tho edi-torial occupation, aud ho did not sur-prise me iu the least by what he did.In a few moments we were in very in-timate relations on the floor, which Iremember well was neatly carpeted asif for the occasion, and I had him bythe neok, just where it was' narrow,oloso to the cbin, with my left band,and he was holding me firmly with bis,right hand, which, he had inserted in'my mouth with that intention. :

You remember John Phoenix says•when ho had the combat with the ablorural editor that he bold him down,having iuserted his nose in the editor'smouth expressly for-that purpose. Thiswas not exactly tbat sort of a case, buttboro waa a resemblance. The ooroner'sjury had me by both lega and the rightarm, dragging me across the floor back-ward and sideways toward the seat ofjustice, and owing to the olerk'B firmhold on the inside of my mouth and mypull on his neck he came , right alougwith mo headforemost. A veteran pro-fessional juror had a sharp attaok of in-sanity and was enthusiastically tryingto kick mo, and under tlieuiicumElaucesI conld not request him not to do BO,but tho coroner jumped ont of his highchair, eayinp;, "Lot's have fair play."Mr. Death, who weighed BOO pounds,ro-onforcod tho.jury, aud tbo clerk triedto release mo by jerking his hand, butI thought he should stay nB bo was andremained attached to bis fingers nntilthey snatched my left hand from myfriend's neck,; and then as I was afraidof having my tooth druwn by band Iopened my mouth, oonsbnting to a sep-aration. I have no vioious senti-monts toward tho clerk—in faot, gotfond of him aftor we were intro-duced to each other by Mr. Death andthe eoroner-^but must add be waa un-kind enough to Bay some time af ter that,"An editor's bite"—that's what he said—"was poisonous and so never healed."Eeally he ought not to bavd changed hismind and tried to pull his band awayafter be had inserted it iu my jaws, soto speak, without telling me what' hewanted to do. The coroner said thewhole affair was very "irregular," andhe was so impetuous aa to add it was"disorderly."

The Daily Columbian came noar be-ing a sorious rival of The Commercialaud was going ahead in promising stylewhen tho Cincinnati papers struck astrike.. The printers were not much or-ganised then, but they wore quito strongin tneir little ways, m, for instance,when they refused to Bet tip an editorialin Tho Enquirer condemning a strikeon. another paper, and the proprietorsconcluded to find out whether they werebosses or not, and they were put to con-siderablo expense. The Columbian suf-fered shockingly and never wholly re.oovered. Mr. Shattuck removed to NowYork and was brilliantly sncccsjfal; inan . advertising tonae., Coggoahnll bo-oamo librarian of the atate of Ohio, andwhen his health failed aocepted a for-eign mission and diod iu office The Co-lumbian was almost saved by a compe-tent manager, S, S. Bowe, but tho cur-rent of evil fortuno swept it away.

I have 'been askod seriously what Ihav<3 done for the press and have to saythat I ;d'o'<uot claim to have been otherthan one who bus been iuduBtrious andrepresentative, and who was early andargent in' putting .the nows in tho news-papers. Onoe when asked what I consid-ered my best point I said, "A nose fornews," and the phrase has traveled. Itwas Grooleywho long beforosaid oneshould smell news in the exohanges.My reporting ranged from police courtBto national conventions and from thebanging of negroes in Kentucky to thehanging of John Brown iu Virginia,from.ward. meetings to a groat spooohby Abraham Lincoln, and I believe theonly man who baa written as mnota forthe press as T have is George AugustusSolo' of tho London Telegraph. I onoeavotagod almost 4,000 -vroxda a day ofeditorial matter for 100 consecutivedays, and I have many times written0,000 words in one day that were print-ed the noxt, and this has now boon go-ing on for 40 years.

Thoeo dreary early days that I havereferred to aa tho gloomy old age ofyouth were not qnito fanciful, and Ilook upon that young man of 40 and 50years ago with tondernoss;, and compaS'sioh, and, I am tomptcd to say,1 withrespect. The shadow was but a morningolond and passed away, as tboro dawn-ed npon my life the gcntlo light tbatstill shiueo of tho oldest and sweetest ofall the stories of journalism and litera-ture ' ' AlPttAT HALSTEAP.

Why is it that in Dover and its suburbs,with a combined population of 0,000, there iaonly one medicinal preparation which givesstatements from residents tu back up itsrepresentations I Why Is it that Doon'sKidney Fills do this in Dover as well as inevery other.city and town of any importanceIn.tlie Union! Why is it that there areadvertised in every newspaper a dozenremedies and only one can supply local proof,local enddnation of iuolaims f The solutionof the problem is simplA. L Only one remedyh u tbe curing and the staying power. Otherremodin'mako all kioda of gigantic .yetfutile efforts to get local' proof, but theattempt ends in producing a statement ortwo from places, that as'far sjrDover'is ccerned, might aa well be in the moon. ' Hereis Dover proof wbich backs up tbe Merita ofDoan'aKidney Pills:

Mr. George C. Bonnell, farmer, live* a milewest of ttucoasUDiia, says: "For sometimepast I had tronblo with my back. It waslamodurlng the day and I had severe pain atnight, much worn after a hard day's work.I used different home remedies but they didnot sueui to help die' much. One day 1 waain .Dover; and Doau'a Kidney Fills rwcrobrought to my notice. Boing ready andwlllibg to try anything recommended' forlame back, I got a'box at. Robert BUlgore'sdrug store. I used them according to direc-tions and they helped me very much.- . Afterusing them a short time the pain left meentirely and I havo not been bothered withItslnco. Other members of my family baveused Doan's Kidney Pills and can join me inpraising ;tbem. • I know they are a goodremedy and if.'I.am over troubled .again Iwill know just what to take. You may usemy statement and I will gladly-reconunBndDoan'd Kidney Fills whonerar 1 have anopportunity."

BOONTON.Bay Dawson, Boontou's fast bicyclist, be

Kay,who is a member of tbe Columbia Collegeteam, covered himself with glory and broughthome two first prizes, defeating such collegomen as Powell and Tweedy. They say thattbe two-mile scratch race was a good one,and it looked as though our Boontou lad wasgoing to get left completely. Wben the lastturn was made on the lost lap, Ray was intbe middle of tbe bunch with no possible wayof getting through it. He then slowed upand tbe other riders passed him, and thecrowd crlodout: " Dawson hasdropped out 1"But the crowd bad spoken too quick, for assoon aa the bunch of riders cleared him, hepulled for the outside of the track, passed allof tbe others amid tremendous excitementand passed over the tape first, with Powell aa close second. His time in tbis race was 5minutes. 9 4-5 Beconds. He also captured thehalf-mile scratoh, doing it in 1 minute, 11 4-5Beconds. .

He chose for his text these words," When the hosts goetbagainBt thine enemies,;hen keep thee from every evil thing." TheBermon was full of good horse sense, and tbepreacher did not forget that be was a preacb-er, preaching the gospel. There was nothingin the sermon to arouse any enthusiasm orexcitement, but good common senBe, wbloh,it wo bad bad more of it preached unto us bythe preachers and tue press, we would notnow, In all likelihood, be in the condition thatwe are ill. The service wasamostimpressiveone throughout. Mrs. E. M. Young, of Mor-rlstown, assisted the ebon* in tbe singing, andat the close of the sermon rendered in abeautiful manner a soprano solo. '

Alittle watch fill ncsB oit the part of the wifewill frequently HHVL- her husband from alow? spell of ill-health and possibly fromsome fatal illness. When a man feels "outof sorts " it is because his digestion is dis-ordered or Ills liver is torpid. Dr. Pierce'sGolden Medical Discovery will promptlycorrect these dinordere. It is the greatblood-maker and flesh-btiiider. It restoresthe appetite, makes digestion perfect andthe liver active. , It purifies the blood midtones the nerves. It cures 98 per cent, ofall cases of consumption, bronchitis, asth-ma, weak IUIIM, lingering cnufjii, spitlinfrof blood and disease of the throat and nasalcavities.

THE IRON ERA, DOVER. N. J., APRIL 29. 1898.Continued from second page.

j)ovxi>,SOBDAT, April 8.

A soomtb sea, some clouds still, a bracingair, and all our party enjoying this, our lastSabbath on the sea, as we hope to be on ournative shores for Easter. One of the gentle-men Baid he wished for high waves; this waslike a mill pond. Once on the ocean a greatwave came BB & party were Beated on deckand swept them all in a heap in one cornerand that was an adventure to tell about onthe return. But even at the sacrifice of thegreat homage paid to the hero we prefer, ifit can be given, a quiet voyage. We saw thewaves twenty feet high once on the Atlanticand it sufficed.

Our emigrant party awake early, I toldsome friends we had a new kind of alarmclock with. 760 hands and a number of themmove about the dawn. Our room being nextto their deck we have company rather tooearly for comfort, but the' poor creaturesmust go somewhere. The Rev. Mr. Huteh-ing&on, of Columbus, Ohio, preached in themorning from 2nd Cor. 4:18 We read ourSunday school lesson in the afternoon. Dr.Stoddard, by request, took the evening service.

MONDAY, April 4.We came in view of the Azores at 7 a. m.

Passed San Miguel between eight and nine.The white village looked .very picturesquenestling among tbe terraced bills. Thoy tellus we are 3,200 miles from home as we passthese islands of the sea. The volcanio rockstell Uielr origin.

As this is Passion week the Episcopalianson board hold a service every morning whichall can attend.- It was BO warm last nightwith the southern breeze that ovory one wel-comes the bracing air of to-day. We passedPico In the . late afternoon. The cloudsaround the base made a beautiful letting forthe dark rocky cone.

In the evening, at the song Ber-vlce, Rev. Dr.. Charles A; Robinson madesomo happy remarks, which I outline for burhome people. 'He said in substance:

Every picture must have a little bit of lifein it. Borne ono painted a deserted vessel, atramp on the sea. It attracted little noticeuntil some one discovered a little dog stand-ing PD the wreck. That one bit of life con-centrated, the interest 111 that picture.. An-other painted a denao wood with a path run-ning through It Theartlrt stood near as oneafter another criticised.

TUESDAY, April 5.The clouds that mottled the' iky yesterday

gave us showers hi the night. The spraydashed .over .our; bow- and on one side of the-ship. They talk about a ship bourtesylng tothe waves ;'our yonng people oall it bowingto every swell. Tola mooring the white capsrequire this homage as we pan. The spraymakes beautiful riln bows as the sun comesout on the some, but it is rough* enough towash all the expend decks and to make alarge number rest in their berths. BUU weare making good progress wind and wavebringing ns nearer home—while they givenssome experiences that will make us value ourhomes from a new standard or'stand point

I had just written the above and was lay-ing down my paper when we •hipped a wavethat gave half a foot of water on oar deck.The port hole facing the deck was closed butnot screwed tight and the water Just pouredin as from a huge pitcher. I was on hand toput a towel in the opening and so, savea littlesprinkling, we escaped the salt bat*. It wasexciting for tbe moment I am glad the sea-ward port can be opened still as the wind Ison the other side.

FBIDATI April 8,7 a. m.The records from the tMta to Ins eighth

have been made in aa experience that noneof ns can ever f orgst. To return to Tuesday,the waves dashed high on our forward portand came with such force aa to darken theroom and stayed m footon deck. Abmtteverrhalf hour came one of those fearful waves.By and by they dashed around and we badto close the seaward porthole. After a timewe commenced to roll. We ascertained itwas because we had stopped to do somethingto the machinery, and thus two hours in thetrough of the sea gave us a rocking that madeit almost impossible to-move about andequally Impossible to be still. Our roomshipped water sb that toe carpet had to bechanged twioe, but a pert of thetlmeltwaspleasant on deck if well wrapped from tbespray. Thus the fifth passed.' The sixthdawned through the clouds. Soon rain beganto fall and the storm increased. I went ondeck a little whlle-about noon—but duringthe afternoon the storm steadily increasedand people were drlren from tbe deck. Theycrowded our gangway to see the fury of thestorm through a port hole in the iron door.We could see it through our forward port.They tell ns the wind was fifty miles an hour.The sea was boisterous f i d our noble shipbattled with the waves, One of the wavesthat struck us about eleven o'clock broke therailing on the forward dock, bent the railingon the bridge, stove in one of'the life boatsand gave us a fearful shock.

Tester-day's record was S16 while that of the daybefore was only 269. Too much cannot be saidin praise of our faithful captain and our nobleship while we remember the Hlol who guidedus in the storm.

A cooler yet pleasant wind is bowing.While walking out on the aft diok I steppedto the purser's office and bearing a sound,turned to see a great wave sweep the verypart of the deck I had just left, so I walkedback in deep water not waiting for anotherwave. ' •-' . ;

Mr. McKee and Mr. Gibson called to talkOver the Sabbath service. The three gentle-men sang very well together in trying somehymns. Every one is talking of the homejust beyond us over the waste of watera.They tell us we were only 600 mites fromNew York at noon to-day. v '

NAVAL DISASTERS.

SOME OF THE GREATEST IN HISTORVOCCURRED IN PORT..

Notable Instances of Veuela That MetTheir Fate When They Seemed Perfect-ly Secure From Stouter—The Capsizingof tbe Boyal George.

Some of the greatest naval disasters inhistory, strange to say, occurred in port.Probably the greatest acoldonr. on reoord,and certainly tho most f am JUS, was thocapsizing of the Boynl Gorrgo, a lino oibattle ship of the British na*y. It was thoflagship of Boar Admiral Bobord Eenip-enfelt.' On Aug. 89, 1783, ui it lay ofiSplthead at the mouth of the Thames, itwas heeled, in order that a pipo might borepairod. Heeling was a simple prooe&s.One broadsido of guns was run from oneaide of the ship to tho other, so that all theweight WOB OD one side. This laid thoeblp over far enough to lay bnrothe end ofthe pipe. Heeling wasn't absolutely safe,but the repairs were so simple that itwasn't worth while to dock the ablp. Sotbey heeled tho Royal George.

Tho Bhlp had not been put out of commission and prnotlcally all her officers andorow woro aboard. Besides, tho friends ofmany of the ship's ooiupuuy woru on buaril,mon, women and ohlldron, Including ulargo number of Jews. A land brcozosprang up, tho Btays did not hold and thogreat ship oapalzcd, noarly 800 persons bo-ing drownod. Tho Kojal Ocorgo carried108 gunB and wao one of the best vosnnlnin tho royal nnvy.

On Juno 8, 18B0, tbe .steamship EasternMonarch lay off Splthead, after a voyagefrom India, with 600 officers and mon onboard, most of whom woro invalids. Tlintnight she was burned, but providentiallyonly eight persons lost tbolr llvos. OnDoo. 38, I87B, Junfc throe days beforeChrlBtoai, H. M. S. Goliath, used as atraining Bhlp, lay In tho Thames withabout COO officers, nion and boys, motit ofths boys being rescued from tho Blums ofJjondon. A lamp upset on the ollroorofloor, but again fortune was on the sldo ofman, and only IS persons wore burned todeath.

Sunday, March 84, 1878, was an un-pleasant day Jn parts of England. Therewaa a snowstorm, which in always, un-pleasant In England, and then thero oamethunder and purple lightning, end, to topoff, • furious squall raged fora short timeJust before tho squall H. M, S. sailingfrigate Eurydico* used QB n training Bblp,•ailed up along. the Isle of Wight. Shehad about 800 men and boy» on board andcame in with a good brebzo, most of horHilt drawlDg and horj ports opon. Thoboys were crowding tho doolis, happy tosee England again after a long voyagefrom the Bermudas. Off Dunnoso head,nearYentnor, that enow squall struck her,and Bhe capslzod. • Yoiitnorls a wateringplace, winter as well aa summer, and rightbeforo tho oyos of hundreds of persons un-ablu to help tho old frigate went down.Hardly any one was saved. Captain Hare,Lieutenant Tabor, the executive officor,and nearly every other penon on boardwas drowned almost within reuch of. laud• t ; the entrance of the harbor for whiohtbey hid hoped.

In 1888 Captain Cowpor Coles of thoBritish navy Invented what he oallod aturret ship, a vessel to oarry few guns, butthose of large caliber, in movable towerson the deck, Ericsson had tho same Ideaand oarrled it out In his Monitor, but Gap-!tain Coles wet not able to embody hitplans in a ship until noarly.15 yean hadpassed.' Flualiy the lords commlsslonerafor executing the offlcoof lord high ad-miral accepted tbe captain's plans, andH. M. 8. Captain was tho result It was• full tigged Iron ship, armored, with aux-iliary steam power. High bulwarks wereIntended to be let down when tho vesselw u cleared for action, unoovering the twoturrets.

The Bhip was launched In IMS and hadtrouble from the first. Finally she seemedto "find benelf" and joined the channelBeet On Sept. 7, 1870, commanded byCaptain Hugh Burgoyne, she was sailingthrough the bay of Biscay. She carried aoompany of 488 persons, and Captain Colesand Mr. Ohlldera, a ton of tho first lord ofthe admiralty, who wero panengera, madethe total number on board 4D0. At 18'.IBa. m. m squall sprang up and struck thetop heavy ship. The bulwarks were downand the ship heeled over and never righted.Of the 4(10 pbrsonB on board only 18 oscap-.ed, and when tho court martial sat to trysome one for negligence In losing tho ves-sel the only parson they oould try wasJamea May, the. gunner I Every officerwaa lost,

The Captain wat not in harbor, but shemight at well havo boen; she was alone,tbere.waa no danger of collision, hor am-munition didn't explode.. Seemingly shewat as safe aa a ship well oould be. Sheand the Eurydloe and tho Boyal Georgewere beaten down by no great storms. Itwas as though thenngsr of Providence badpointed ut those three ships and at noth-ing else. • ' ' •

Nos qnlto three years after the Eurydlcecaptliad there 'was* boat race on theThames up In Canada. Tho day wasQueen Victoria's birthday, liny 94,1881.The day wat olear, It wat a hollday,-andtheraoewaiexoltlng; so the steamboatsaboompanYlnB tbe; raoers .wore orowdod.The Victoria had on her, deoks every soulthe oould oarry, but everybody behavedwell and there was no trouble and nodanger—until an exciting part of a raceoauBed tbe orowd to rush to one sldo of "the"boat.

A RING OF FIRE.How Sampson May Encircle

the Island of Cuba.

OTHER FORTS TO BE SHELLE

Reduction of Matanzas Is thBeginning of Operations

HAVANA'S TtJEDT IS LATEE

The Fleet Will Reduce the Spaolih WorkiXn the Smaller Coast Totvm Before tinCapital City I» Reacliod—Litter Detailof the Bombardment iJl Mtttonios—TinBlacjacketi "Beineinber the Maine."

•Washington, April 29.—The firing upon the fortifications at Matanzaa hasstirred the blood of the navy officials,They recognize It as a departure andwelcome Inauguration of a new kindblockade of the Cuban coast. It Bhowthat the navy has not been orderedestablish a blockade that must bepeactful at any price. Whenever It 19 nece;say, the vessels will fire upon and dBtroy the shore batteries.

It was reported, when the flrBt newof the shelling of the batteries at Ma-tanzas reached the navy departmenthat Admiral Sampson had exceeded hiauthority. This, however, Is aenleiand it 1B positively stated that themlral may fixe upon any battery alomshore that can be destroyed to the advantage of the plans of the navy. Thla sold to b(* the first step only. Prettsoon Cuba will be circled by a ring <fire. More guns are to be destroysmore forts leveled and more Spanlslgunners driven from their works.

It Is the policy of the department, andistinctly the policy of the presidennot to hazard too much in these pre-liminary actions. It would cost toemuch at this time to have a single shi]damaged In a successful bombard menof Havana Itself. If the city's forts antlines of fortifications could be leveledthe ground, every gun hurled fromemplacement and the forces drive:from their position by the fire of thAmerican ships, It would avail littlea single ehlp were so damaged thatwould have to come back tor repairiand leave the fleet weakened and subJect to Budden attack by Spanish ships

' There are no troops that could be land'. ed In sufficient numbers to hold Ha'

vana or Inflict permanent Injury upothe SpanlBh even If the forts wensilenced. The 60,000 Spaniards could fai

* back and defy all troops that the TJnled States could send to the Island withIn several weeks. Time and opportunty to strike effectively are the ehleipoints In the same that the UnltecStates 1B playing1, and It would be foolih to sacrifice its chances by hasty ac-tion.

THE TERROR'S PRIZE.Captor* of Spanish Steamer Oat do, Loade.

With rrovUIorm.Key West, April 29.—Aside from the

ntwi ol the Matanzas bombardment,which set the town wild with joy, th•vent of yesterday, practically marklnthe end of the first week of the war, waithe arrival of a big prize, the eteameiOuldo. She was captured by the Terroand the gunboat Machlas ten miles off

.Cardenas at 4 o'clock Wednesday mornin*, but not until after a stern chase:Five Bhota were fired, four by the mon-itor and om by the gunboat, though th•hot from the Machfas did not take ef-fect. Two of the Terror's shots wenthrough the pilothouse and one strucka longboat and the upper works. ; ' .

Manuel Rivar, a sailor, was In thpilothouse of the Guido, and the flyingsplinters penetrated his breast, inflicting wounds which may cause death. H<was brought ashore and taken to th<hospital yesterday afternoon,

The Guido was bound from Corunnto Havana with a cargo of provision!

'and money thought to be for the Span'lih troops., The Terror first sighted heand began tbu pursuit by.sending ablank shot acrnss her bows. The Spanlard promptly put out all her lights andstarted In a desperate. attempt to run

. away, * - - "-.•;:The monitor then brought her

pounders into play and sent three mon•hots directly at her, all finding tinmark. Shr also trained her 12 inch gumon the Ouldo, prepared to sink her 1:•he did not heave to. . ']•'.

Meanwhile the Machlas had come u.and sent a shot from a 4 Inch rifle athe fugitive. Captain Ktchlondo, seeingthat he had two such powerful enemiesto combat, surrendered. Lieutenant E.F. Qualtrougti, Ensign J. F. Hubbardand two marines were put aboard &s iprise crew and brought the steamer intKey West. As soon as Captain Kichlondo and his crew learned of the condi-tions existing In Cuba, they asked noito be landed there. \ ;

The Quldo is a steel screw steamer oi1,133 toils grbsn and 2,782 net. She ivaibuilt by Harland & Wolff of Belfastand Is registered by Lloyds ae Al. ,(3h)• owned by La. Flecha, Is 360 feet long,41 feet wide and has a depth of 26 feet.Her port of registry Is Bilbao. She car-ried a crew of 36. u". •

All of the prizes atill lie In the harbor,and, according to instructions receivedby United States District AttorneyStripling from the department of jus-tice they will remain here indefinitely.These Instructions were to the; effecthat the crew and passengers of thf»Panama, -which carried four 14 poundguns and which was captured by theMangrove, should be held as prlsoneroof war. The crews or the other; prizesare also to be detained aboard untilfurther orders and will be,allowed nocommunication with! the shore.'

Much relief is felt here.

THE BOMBARDMENT.Further Uolnlls or the Reduction of Ma-

tanzai1 *oi tlficaticmn.Key "West, April 29.—The following,

written on board the flagship New York,Elves fuller details of the reduction oiMatanzas:

The bombardment of the Matanzabatteries Is now a matter of history.The flagBhip has returned1 to her station off El Morro. As already brieflystated In these dispatches, the bombardment accomplished Its purpose infull, and that without any loss of llfion tlie American side. It 1B believed thiSpaniards must have sustained someloss of life in addition to having thelnearly completed earthworks and fortlflcatlons torn up by the explosion OJshells. The capture of the city was noat all contemplated, the objective beingto stop the erection of the batteries.

This engagement, the first In whichthe United States navy has participatedfor about 30 years, occurred quite, unexpectedly. The New York was lyingabout 20 miles east of Havana at 10:3o'clock Wednesday morning, when ReaiAdmiral Sampson decided to steam t<Matanzas. At the entrance to the harbor tlie monitor Puritan and the cruiserCincinnati met the flagship. A stiffwind was blowing and the waves poured over the low bow and stern- of thimonitor. At slow speed the flagshipproceeded toward the harbor, the Purltan following half a mile astern andthe Cincinnati about two miles to th<westward. R*tar Admiral SampBon anCaptain Chadwick- stood on the highbridge, carefully surveying forts whichhad had the temerity to fire on the Unit-ed States torpedo boat Foote. Whenabout three miles from Punta Gorda,the extreme point of the western armoi! the harbor, a long yellow Btreak wasBiien on shore. I t looked like a newlyerected earthwork. Closer inspectionrevealed' a number of men clusteredaround the shore. Still the New Yorksteamed elotvty ahead until it was as-certained without any doubt that theSpanish troops were busy In erectingwhat seemed to be a sand battery andhad already gotten several guns Intoposition.

Hear Admiral Sampson decided thatthis was detrimental to a pacific block-ade. "General quarters" was sounded.The men rushed to their guna. Whenthe New York was about 4,000 yardsfrom Punta Gorda, her helm was put tostarboard, and "commence firing" thebugler blow. Naval Cadet Boone, incharge of "Waist," the 8 inch gun amid-ships on the port side, had the honorof firing the first shot. The flagshipshook from stem to stern as the firstprojectile aimed by the United Statesat the shore of Cuba flew from the muz-zle of the big- gun. This waa at 12:66p. m.

Fifty pairs of glasses) were leveledfrom the flagship at the shore. It saem-ed minutes before the yellow smokecleared away, but in reality it was leesthan five seconds. Then a little cloudof dust was seen to rise at the right ofthe earthworks.' For the first attemptat 4,000 yards It wan by no means a badshot. Without the aid of glasses the ob-jective point could be clearly definedWith a deafening: roar the ,8 inch gunin the forward turret let fly Ha ironmissile. It landed high, The after tur-ret came next with tho same i sizedprojectile, A shout of delight went upfrom the flagship as a dense cloud roseslowly from the very center' of* thoearthworks, showing how true had beenthe aim.

Then "from the entire port Bide a fear-ful fusillade was poured an the shore,the four turret guns firing almost' si-multaneously end the 4 inch guns add-ing their smaller hall. When the smokeblew away, Punta Gorda was dottedwith duet clouds that looked like minia-ture geysers springing suddenly fromthe earth.; Each showed where a shothad struck., At this point the guns In the Qulntns

da Hecreo battery were observed to befiring on the flagship, and Boon all threeof our warships were merrily banging1

away at.the Spanish fortifications, ev-ery shot doing effective work..

When the cruiser Cincinnati got or-ders,to engage, she steamed at firstbroadside on und then took a positionwhere the: Rubnlcava batteries couldnot strike her. She fairly enfiladed thebatteries, and her men exclaimed withevery shot, "Take that for the Maine!'

There was no-rejoicing, no cheering.Everything was carried on with anearnestness'of purpose wlilch showed asensation of which Joy TVUB not a part.The men felt the pleasure of conflictpulsating. In their veins, but not thepleasure for killing's sake.-_ Too much cannot be said of the gun-nery of the men on the ships, ncr cantoo much 1)Q said In praise of the dis-cipline which- prevailed.

Sighted.New York, April 29.-The North Ger-

man Lloyd steamship Havel, which wasdocked at Hobokun, N. J., yesterday, re-ported that while oft the Azores lastSaturday she passed a Spanish fleet andwas Blernaled by the flagBhip as to hernationality. When she replied that shewas the German steamship Havel, shewas allowed to proceed. Captaln/Chris-toffer said the Spanish fleet was steam*.ing northward at a ten knot rate.
